LeBron Doesn't Want To Go Back To Cold Winters 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu Sep 26, 2013 9:53 pm

With speculation that LeBron James could return to the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2014, but he admitted to enjoying the weather in Miami.


“I miss the slower pace back home but have grown used to my new city’s little perks like fresh fish and sweet fruit,” said James. “It will definitely be someplace warm. I don’t want to go back to cold winters.”


The Los Angeles Lakers also could have enough cap space to sign James, though even those within the franchise believe it is a longshot.


James signed with the Miami Heat in 2010.

Lol

San Fran doesn't have a winter or summer. You pretty much can't go swimming any time of the year.

Clearly James is going to buy an NBA team and move it to Hawaii. Where else can he get that combination of warm winters, fresh mercury laden fish, and tropical fruit?

This quote is out of context. LeBron was talking about where he wants to settle down after retirement.

It's the modern day reporter's job to quote guys out of context and then use it back on them on a future date.. authentic journalism is on life support now..

Actually, If Duncan and Ginobili retires, the Spurs will easily have a max cap space. Just like the Suns. So, yeah. The two hottest place is available. :)

Ohio is the 7th most populated state not just "fly over", also the quote is taken out of context.
